It's actually been very stable and usable for a long time. It's not, and never 
will be a 100% drop in replacement for everything baselayout provides, but 
it's very very compatible.

As Doug mentioned earlier, my git repo is available in an ebuild.
Why haven't I done a snapshot or release yet? Well, I have one last feature to 
add basically. That feature is so it can be installed "prefixed" and still 
work perfectly - with the exception of not booting or shutting down the host 
system. I'll be doing this on my NetBSD box next week hopefully.

But bugs are still being found and fixed - although at a slow rate :)

Thanks

Roy
